5th s. Ric. III, Crown and People ed. Petre, 203, probably following Vis. Essex (Harl. Soc. xiii), 111, refers to him as Sir John’s ‘third’ son. of (Sir) John Tyrell*; yr. bro. of Thomas* and William I*. m. (1) Anne, da. of – Fitzsymond, According to Vis. Essex, 111, Anne was a da. and coh. of Sir Robert Fitzsymond, but P. Morant, Essex, i. 286, and Trans. Essex Arch. Soc. iii. 87 call her the da. of ‘William Fitz-Simon’ and J.H. Tyrrell, Gen. Hist. of Tyrrells, 116, 118, says her fa. was ‘Sir John Simon’. Whatever the case, she was probably from a branch of the Essex Fitzsymonds. Presumably the MP counted Sir John Fitzsymond and Robert Fitzsymond, with whom he was associated as a commr., witness and feoffee in the mid 15th century, among his in-laws: CCR, 1435-41, p. 490; 1454-61, pp. 338, 347; CPR, 1446-52, p. 431; Essex RO, deeds, 1460, 1465, D/DHf T41/102, D/DU 568/10, 11. 1s. 1da.; Vis.

TYRELL, Thomas (c.1413-77), of Heron in East Horndon, Essex.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. c.1413, s. and h. of John Tyrell*; nephew of Edward*; bro. of William I* and William II*. CIPM, xxv. 5. According to P. Morant, Essex, i. 208, Tyrell was John’s second but eldest surviving son. m. bef. July 1428, CFR, xxi. no. 830. Anne (d.1484), da. of Sir William Marney† (d.1414) of Layer Marney, Essex, and Kingsey, Bucks., 4s. (2 d.v.p.), 2da. Ric. III, Crown and People ed. Petre, 212-13; The Commons 1386-1421, iii. 694; PCC 31 Wattys (PROB11/6, ff. 237-41). Morant, i. 209, accepts that Sir William Marney was the MP’s father-in-law but refers to Tyrell’s wife as ‘Emma’. Elsewhere, however, it calls her father ‘Sir John Marney’: ibid. ii. 54. Both HP Biogs. ed. Wedgwood and Holt, and Ric. III, Crown and People, 203, 212-13, state he married twice, on each occasion to a lady from the Marney family (of whom the first was Emma, daughter of Sir John Marney) but no evidence to support this assertion has been found. Kntd. c. 1445. Between Nov. 1444 and Feb. 1446: CFR, xvii. 303; CPR, 1441-6, p. 470.

Attestor, parlty. elections, Essex ?1432, 1435, 1449 (Nov.), 1450.

As for the election of 1432, it is unclear whether the MP (then technically still a minor) was the attestor in question.
